IN THEContinue reading “Happy 400th Thanksgiving”

Dewald Ankeny and Andrew Putnam- Hugenots
Sometimes similar items show up together and this is one of those cases. I have been trying to reconcile some of the information on Cory’s family tree and shortly after finding the information for a Hugenot on my family, I find these two. Both Dewald and Andrew tie into the same family line for Cory.Continue reading “Dewald Ankeny and Andrew Putnam- Hugenots”
Mareen Duvall – Hugenot and Jacobite
Sometimes my research is focused, and sometimes I’m randomly clicking around looking at whatever catches my fancy. In one of those random days I stumbled into some information on the immigrant Mareen Duvall. For a tie-in, after Mareen, a 4th Generation Duvall married a Bayne, and four generations later, a Bayne married a Munter andContinue reading “Mareen Duvall – Hugenot and Jacobite”

Scottish Clan Heritage
A couple of days ago I saw notifications that it was Tartan Day and thought that would be a good opportunity to post some information on what I know about our Scottish heritage and what a tartan is. It’s basically a plaid pattern, and a very important part of the Scottish culture. According to theContinue reading “Scottish Clan Heritage”

Francis Billington – Mayflower Passenger
